1706. Lead. Oblong, with slightly bowed ends. Moulded plinth and cornice.
Relief decoration on 2 short and 1 long sides, consisting of a band of
foliage with small closed coronets and armorial goats above, and large
cartouches below (2 on long side, 1 each on short), each with shouldered
corners, scrolled sides, cornucopia above, Borrominesque grotesque masks
below, and husk festoons, putti, and marine creatures within. Between
the cartouches are the date 1706, the initials EAN, a fleur-de-lys, and
a leaping fish. The initials are presumably those of Sir Edward Northey,
builder of Woodcote House, Woodcote Green, and the tank was allegedly
taken from his London stables to its present situation in 1896.
